On Oct.27 a Northern Shrike was seen along the roadside at the north end of Hall's Rd.
Oct.28 at the Cranberry Marsh RW platform--for the 4th consecutive day of "wrong winds" the migrating hawks are either to the east or flying inland. However we do have regular fly-abouts by a "resident" 1-yr. old Bald Eagle, and this AM the viewers were enthralled to watch it being persistently harassed by either or both a Kestrel and a Peregrine. The only migrants were 2 TVs, 3Red-taileds, 1 Kestrel and 1 Peregrine. Throughout the 2-hour watch 6 white Snow Geese and 1 Blue Goose endlessly circled the wetland--at 1115 they settled onto the pond on the east side. Greater & Lesser Yellowlegs were up flying about. Near-the-platform birds included 2 Fox Sparrows and several Juncos.
